They couldn't afford it. Not that they dont have the money but they in theory would have to pay Activision the loss of ps3 sales which works out around 360 million (minus sonys cut so probably about 200+ million).. You really think MS are gonna pay around 200+ million per game just to make exclusive???? (i'm talking pounds here so in dollars a lot more)
They wouldn't sell enough consoles to cover that kind of loss nor enough copy's of the game on there system ...
Technically he does but not because ppl subscribe. It works like this. Suckers pay MS for playing games online (suckers as you can play for FREE on PS3 and PC) they don't give a percentage to companies, what they do is use money from Live to pay for exclusive content e.g. early map packs in activisions case.
Actually there names ironic.. As there articles are serious. Should have called themselves the ironic sarcastic gamer.
The articles right the game is being slated every which way because too many people expected too much.. This is what happens though when you take 5 years to make a game. I mean it has everything

8thnightvolley who is in denial? Numbers don't lie Sony HAS outsold the 360 for the last 3 years worldwide these are facts not fanboy thoughts and guesses. Just because you THINK 360 has better games doesn't mean 360 wins.
Multiplatform games mean nothing as they are on both consoles so only exclusives mean something and lets be fair in 2008 & 2009 & 2010 360 was blown out the water with more AAA exclusives than 360. These are facts not fanboy guesses not favo...
Most the problems are on 360 version too like the spawning issue so grow up will you?? Stupid fanboys..
I got my money back plus £5 today since I paid £30 for my copy I traded it in towards GT5 and got £35 on trade :) RESULT. My whole point of buying it really.. Done it for the last 2 COD games..
There cheating.. There comparing real life to Forza not GT5 that's not allowed :p. Honestly though Forzas resolution is blown away by GT5's
Wow that guys the worst troll on here.. Hes worse than the legendary green ring of life himself.. Anyway took me 18 minutes install is optional too. BTW i'm using my own installed 500gb not a stock HDD.
Thats because the games so damn big its too early to get a review out to cover the whole game right now..
@Organization XII below I agree IGN are odd with there scores but to be fair its meaningless they gave black ops an 8.5 and look how that sold. So ignore scores from IGN I mean they gave GTA IV a 10/10 so it shows how meaningful there scores are.
Good review gives honest good and bad points not retarded ones like cannot remove the HUD etc..
Honestly though they are comparing a sub HD game to a HD game like GT5 whats the point?
Yeah look at Black Ops which also got a 8.5

Would you say that was a flop?? People really need to look at there heads and realise that the review system is a joke. GTA got 10/10 yet quality AAA games like uncharted never touched that glorious 10 mark. You really think those millions of people care what score Black Ops got? No it wouldn't have effected on...
Hmm The scores a bit off 9/10 for graphics?? How so they say the game looks better than real life yet don't give 10/10.. This is the same site that gave GTA 10/10 remember? But what killed the review score is presentation nothing more.. So if you really are gonna say Forza is better because of the HUD you really need your head checking.. Thing also is I bet it will still sell a crap load more than Alan Wake and it got a lower score than it from IGN as review scores these days mean nothing...
First console to offer HD gaming?? Erm HD cables were out for Xbox and PS2 before 360 was even announced..
Kid Icarus Uprising
LOL...
I kinda feel sorry for 360 owners as they cant really put together a list of 10 to look forward to in 2011 quite easily.. Whereas PS3 fans will have a tough choice narrowing it down to 10.
Folklore was by Sonys first party... This is by Ban Dia.. Completly differnt copmpanys. Anyways on topic the review score seems right it seems an average game.
I love it a brit talking about american advertising and how well its done like he lives in the US or something.. You dont even see the ads on TV as you live in UK OMEGA stop being a troll and grow up!
@ipad above your right but without the live subscription fee they would probably be making no profit at all out of xbox right now and would have given up on it like the original xbox.
#10 - Give up on Japan - Hmm good idea as it is throwing money down a hole so to speak however thanks to doing so they are getting japanese developed games like Metal Gear Rising out the deal so is it really that bad?
#7 - Make Xbox Live Multiplayer Free - NEVER gonna happen
#3 - Sell Kinect to Everyone - The problem there is they cant open it up to mainstream audience as a couple of games have already proven the Kienct just isnt designed for it and is better...
9.5? d-toid probably thought it was a 360 exclusive..
Pretty sure this is a black friday deal too.. Dont expect it to be permanently at this price
